YING THE
PIANO
2) DUAL
The DUAL function allows two preset sounds to be layered together, creating a more complex sound. For example,
a piano can be layered with strings, or a church organ with a choir sound.
Step 1
Press and hold down a SOUND SELECT button to select the fi rst desired sound. Then press another
SOUND SELECT button to select the second desired sound.
The LED indicators for each button will turn on, indicating that the two sounds have been selected, and the names
of both instruments will be shown in the LCD display.
For example, to layer a piano sound and a string sound, press the PIANO 1 and STRINGS buttons simultaneously
as shown in the diagram.
Pressing either of the SOUND SELECT buttons again will select the other sound variations assigned to that
button.
For example, to change the String Ensemble sound to Slow Strings, press and hold the PIANO 1 button and press
the STRINGS button again.
If two sound variations assigned to the same SOUND SELECT button are to be layered, while pressing the desired
SOUND SELECT button, use the VALUE buttons to select the desired sound variation. For example, to layer
Concert Grand and Mellow Grand together, fi rst press the PIANO 1 button to select Concert Grand, and then use
the VALUE buttons to select Mellow Grand while still holding down the PIANO 1 button.
Step 2
Play the keyboard.
Two different sounds will be heard at the same time.
Step 3
Use the BALANCE slider to adjust the volume balance between the two sounds.
Step 4
Press any individual SOUND SELECT button to cancel DUAL mode.
Increases the volume of
the sound assigned to the
